Mayweather VS McGregor

Mayweather vs. McGregor is over, but Showtime is about to be involved in another fight.

A fan is suing the cable company and pay-per-view distributor because he was unable to watch the boxing match Saturday night on Showtime’s app due to streaming issues, according to the U.S. District Court in Oregon’s official documents. The Hollywood Reporter was the first to report the news.

The class action allegation complaint, which was filed on the behalf of Zack Bartel, states that Bartel purchased the stream for $100 on Showtime’s app and all he got was “grainy video, error screens, buffer events, and stalls.” The complaint, which was penned by attorneys Michael Fuller and Mark Geragos, contained screenshots demonstrating Bartel’s issues.

“At the same time defendant’s system was unable to stream the Mayweather fight in HD, plaintiff was able to watch other streaming services on YouTube and Netflix in crystal clear HD, as usual,” the complaint read. “Plaintiff took a speed test of his Internet just to make sure the issues weren’t being caused by a bad connection.”

In a statement sent out Monday, Showtime said it would issue refunds to those who bought the fight, but could not watch it. The statement said that there were only a “very limited number” of people contacting them saying they could not watch the bout.

“Refunds are handled at the point of sale,” Showtime spokesperson Chris DeBlasio said. “‎While we have received a very limited number of complaints, we will issue a full refund for customers who purchased the event directly from Showtime and were unable to receive the telecast.”

Showtime released a statement Saturday night saying that the main event from Las Vegas between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor would be “slightly” delayed due to pay-per-view issues. UFC Fight Pass, which was also streaming the mega event, faced issues, too, and many people — including UFC fighters — complained on social media about not being able to watch on that platform.

The lawsuit is alleging unlawful trade practices and unjust

It didn’t look the way most of us thought, but Floyd Mayweather Jr. did what he said he would.

He knocked out Conor McGregor in the 10th round, but the UFC lightweight champion did himself proud considering his lack of boxing experience and the caliber of opponent he faced.

None of the shots McGregor landed seemed to hurt Mayweather, but the success the Irishman experienced was more than many boxing pundits thought he could enjoy. Mayweather stayed composed throughout the fight and gradually turned up the heat beginning in the fourth round.

With each passing round from the fourth frame until the end, Mayweather cranked up the intensity and McGregor’s stamina begain to deteriorate. By the time the ninth round came, McGregor was flailing and flopping around the ring with no energy. Mayweather sensed his opponent was fading and he kept landing flush shots to the head.

McGregor escaped the ninth round, but in the 10th, a series of unanswered blows caused referee Robert Byrd to stop the fight. Here’s a look at the finish:
